The Box on the ground is not radds school I was just using it as a point of ref. I found out about radds school after I had achieved a hover although I pretty much did the same thing on my own. Yeah it is kinda a small area to practice but I found it has forced me to have more control over the heli not because of a box or chalk circle but the wall is def a stopping force.

I did spend some time with FMS and the RMAXb model to learn orientation and just generally train my fingers to do the right thing. All I had for an input device was a 360controler. I spent some time on the sim while I was waiting for the blade grips and a couple of other parts. Current mods are CNC blade grips 3 HS-55 servos and the 910mah 15c Lipo.
